A set ''E'' is ''compact'' if and only if, for every family [[latex2($\{G_{ \alpha } \}_{\alpha \in A}$)]] of open sets such that [[latex2($E \subset \cup_{\alpha \in A}G_{\alpha}$)]]

In general we simplify the definition to be: A compact set is a set which is closed (that is it contains its boundary points) and is bounded.
Heine-Borel Theorom: A set [[latex2($E \subset R$)]] is compact iff ''E'' is closed and bounded.

A set ''E'' is ''compact'' if and only if, for every family [latex2($\left{G_{\alpha}\right}_{\alpha \in A}$)] of open sets such that [latex2($E \subset \cup_{\alpha \in A}G_{\alpha}$)]

A set E is compact if and only if, for every family latex2($\{G_{ \alpha } \}_{\alpha \in A}$) of open sets such that latex2($E \subset \cup_{\alpha \in A}G_{\alpha}$)

Heine-Borel Theorom: A set latex2($E \subset R$) is compact iff E is closed and bounded.

Example [2,8] is a compact set. The unit disk including the boundary is a compact set. (3,5] is not a compact set. Note that all of these examples are of sets that are uncountably infinite.
